Terahertz Pulses That Destroy Skin Tissue, Increase Tumor-Suppressing Proteins at the Same Time, University of Alberta and University of Lethbridge Study

Terahertz (THz) radiation, a slice of the electromagnetic spectrum that occupies the middle ground between microwaves and infrared light, is rapidly finding important uses in medical diagnostics, security, and scientific research. As scientists and engineers find evermore practical uses for this form of radiation, questions persist about its potential human health risks.
